When Is Oral Surgery Recommended?
Oral surgery addresses conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding tissues. Before recommending treatment, we complete a thorough examination and review all available options to ensure surgery is truly the best path forward. In cases where less invasive approaches are not sufficient and oral surgery is required, we will discuss the most appropriate invasive treatment for your needs. Our dental team is proud to support you with a comprehensive range of surgical treatment to address even the most complex dental conditions.
Tooth Extraction
Preserving your natural tooth and root is always our priority, as they provide the best function and appearance. However, there are situations where removing a tooth is the healthiest solution.
- Tooth extraction may be necessary due to:
- Extensive decay or infection,
- Advanced gum disease,
- Trauma or fracture that leaves the tooth badly damaged beyond repair
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment.
We perform extractions with careful planning and gentle techniques to protect surrounding tissues and encourage proper healing.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge in the late teens or early twenties. In many cases, there is not enough space in the jaw to accommodate them properly. This can lead to pain, swelling, infection, or shifting of nearby teeth.
- Wisdom tooth extraction can help:
- Relieve discomfort and pressure
- Prevent damage to neighbouring teeth
- Reduce the risk of infection or cyst formation.
Our team evaluates the position of your wisdom teeth with digital imaging and recommends removal only when necessary.
Tongue Tie Surgery
A tongue tie occurs when the band of tissue beneath the tongue restricts its movement. This condition can affect speech, feeding, and overall oral function.
Tongue tie surgery is a straightforward procedure that releases the tight tissue, improving mobility and comfort. We take special care to ensure the experience is smooth for both children and adults, with clear aftercare instructions to support healing.
Sedation Dentistry (Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation)
Your comfort is important to us. For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, we offer sedation dentistry options to create a more relaxed experience.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is inhaled during treatment and helps you feel calm while remaining awake and responsive. Its effects wear off quickly after your appointment.
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your procedure to promote deeper relaxation. You will remain conscious but feel significantly more at ease throughout treatment.
We will review your medical history and discuss which option is best suited to your needs before proceeding.
